After escaping Japan, Ghosn feels Lebanon’s financial crisis
Carlos Ghosn's daring escape from Japan to Lebanon may have cast light on his wealth and influence, but in Beirut the ex-Nissan boss can only get a few hundred dollars a week from the bank because of the country's deep financial crisis. Lebanon, Ghosn's childhood home, is in the throes of the worst financial and economic emergency in decades, with a shortage of dollars leading the Lebanese pound to slump and banks to tightly restrict savers' access to their deposits.
